Next Generation Intelligence Analysis: Applications, Methods and Processes for Elevating Your Organization's Analytical Capabilities and Integrating with Key Intelligence Topics (KITs)

The next generation of intelligence analysis looks very different from the analysis done in our organizations over the past few years. Driving forces, including needs to address the growing complexity of competitive and environmental factors, better dealing with the global explosion of data available, and the urgent need for alternative cognitive models, among other things, have brought intelligence analysis to a tipping point. Based on over 15 years of research conducted with hundreds of global organizations, Dr. Craig S. Fleisher, the "Dean of Intelligence Analysis" will discuss how analysis practices and processes are being reengineered to meet rapidly changing needs of decision-makers. Dr. Fleisher will illustrate several next generation analytical elements, the development of structured analytical methodologies, the means for uniting key intelligence topics (KITs) and analytical techniques in a framework known as KITs+1™, collaborative insight mechanics driven by Web 2.0 applications such as wikis, and nascent models for training and development like the one called Analytical Fitness™ that Aurora is using with its own analysts and clients.

Dr. Craig S. Fleisher is the Chief Learning Officer (CLO) at Aurora WDC. Craig has authored several essential CI books including the Financial Times Guide to Analysis for Managers (2009), Business and Competitive Analysis (FT Press, 2007), and Strategic and Competitive Analysis (Pearson, 2003), among others.
